Pieces of Bay Bridge fall: Once again Twitter first on the scene
Check out this dramatic photo posted to Twitter today by a very anxious and concerned bridge crosser. That is a cable and steel fragments, fallen from a cantilever section of the famous Bay Bridge which links San Francisco to Oakland; the bridge that commuters universally loathe.

Time to upgrade to a smartphone: BlackBerry, iPhone or Android?
Just a few years back, it was so simple. If you wanted to stay in touch with email on the go, you got a BlackBerry. End of story. So I went from model to model, upgrading every few years, happy as a corporate clam.

Sunday espresso: New media, FM3, wine and theater social networking strategy
As much as I enjoy the weekend, after putting away our to-do lists, Sunday mornings are my relaxing time to sit with an espresso and read. I usually catch up with news, some sports (NFL and NHL mostly) and take time to revisit my email inbox to make sure...
Theater review: ‘Tiny Kushner’ a cerebral five course meal served by a master chef
